Rubbish, eh!

And so it starts. I think we can feel even more confident now that Spain and Italy will open up as well and the reasons given are both logical and interesting. Sicily has come out and also said it will vaccinate tourist sector workers as a priority and wants to attract foreign and British tourism. So the competition for tourism will start big time now. Whether big bad Bojo is overly excited or our friendly Shapps, we will see. But i can not imagine that it is in Boris’ DNA to prevent Brits from travelling post April. I just do not think Gulag UK is what he wants his legacy to be. need to isolate on way back perhaps an issue but I suspect that unless coming from a red Zone they will rely on the fact we will mostly all have been vaccinated and on tests before return.France reducing its travel requirements from Friday

Not sure if I have missed this but in today’s Majorcan press (Daily Bulletin) there is an article stating that RYA qualifications are currently not being accepted by Spanish authorities to allow you to move your boat anywhere! This is causing an “exodus” of boats . I thought I had read that this applied to commercial/charter skippers but did not realise this applied to leisure skippers as well. They are saying we would need Spanish qualifications. Is this everyone’s understanding? I believe it is the same for France as well. Its been a long winter and I’m guessing I have missed this very fundamental change.

reading between the lines, it looks like more of a problem for commercial skippers,crews than it does for recreational owners.
quote from the article
"The ICC ( International Certificate of Competence) issued by the RYA for use in most EU countries has still not been confirmed by the Spanish as remaining acceptable, so nobody actually knows if it is valid or not. "
i'm not concerned - yet!
So I haven’t been asleep for the few months by the sounds of it. That makes me feel a bit better! My boat is U.K. flagged so I’m hoping will be OK.I'm still sceptical. I'm all for putting the boot into Brexit but why is this the first time we have heard this story? Surely, if there was a problem, it would have been flagged up months ago?
